Michael had no clue that this was going to be part of the finale until he saw the footage. “It’s a loss and a gain at the same time,” Michael tells Life & Style magazine. “It’s hard to say goodbye to somebody when you still love her.”

Holly and Michael previously got engaged in June 2010, but Holly ended it just six months later. When she decided to partner up with Michael, she was also thinking about getting back together with him — that’s until Blake entered the picture.

“I started to think maybe I could go back to Michael,” Holly admits. “But then I went out on a date with Blake, and it confused the hell out of me. That’s when everything started to change.”

Holly got engaged to Blake after only three months — and revealed that she was going to move to South Carolina to be with him.

Poor Michael now feels completely lost. “I wasn’t ready for that,” he confesses. “One of the last things I said to her on the show was, ‘I love you.'”
